I feel like I get far fewer responses to my posts when posted from my .ml account than when posted from my .world account. Is this a thing? Should I switch servers?

    From .world? Wouldn’t surprise me.

    Also wouldn’t surprise me if engagement is affected by a user name having .world or .ml or .hexbear when posting outside those spaces. I’ve noticed my reaction to a post/comment being somewhat influenced by seeing what comes after the user name.

      Fair, but given how tribal many people can be, this is bound to be expected. Is just like how some people will not or will refuse to engage with an argument and look at person’s history and focus on that, as a type of ad-hominem. As if that makes a valid counterpoint.

      Just internet folks doing internet folk things.
